The Sustainable Bioeconomy
Enrollment options
The
Sustainable Bioeconomy course examines the current and future opportunities and
challenges of bioproducts and bioenergy in society. This course explores
relationships between society’s economic demand for inexpensive energy and
products and our responsibility to produce these products in environmentally
and socially responsible ways. Students explore a range of bioproduct
categories including biofuels, virgin and recycled paper and wood products, and
advanced biomaterials. A panel of instructors from multiple disciplines and
bioeconomy stakeholders will share their diverse perspectives and experiences
in the bioeconomy. Students will learn about careers available in the growing
bioeconomy sector and the knowledge and skills necessary for these jobs.
